20.1 Oxidation States and OxidationReduction Reactions • Electrochemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with relationships between electricity and chemical reactions • Chemical reactions in which the oxidation state of one or more substances change are called oxidation-reduction reactions (redox reactions). Recall: – Oxidation involves loss of electrons (OIL). – Reduction involves gain of electrons (RIG). Also: – Oxidation involves an increase of an oxidation number. – Reduction involves a decrease of an oxidation number. Electrochemistry 2

Oxidation Numbers In order to keep track of what loses electrons and what gains them, we assign oxidation numbers.

Oxidation and Reduction
• A species is oxidized when it loses electrons. – Here, zinc loses two electrons to go from neutral zinc metal to the Zn2+ ion.
• A species is reduced when it gains electrons. – Here, each of the H+ gains an electron, and they combine to form H2.

Oxidation and Reduction
• What is reduced is the oxidizing agent. – H+ oxidizes Zn by taking electrons from it.
• What is oxidized is the reducing agent. – Zn reduces H+ by giving it electrons. Electrochemistry © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Sample Exercise 20.1 Identifying Oxidizing and Reducing Agents The nickel-cadmium (nicad) battery uses the following redox reaction to generate electricity: Cd(s) + NiO2(s) + 2 H2O(l) Cd(OH)2(s) + Ni(OH)2(s) Identify the substances that are oxidized and reduced, and indicate which is the oxidizing agent and which is the reducing agent.
Solution
The oxidation state of Cd increases from 0 to +2, and that of Ni decreases from +4 to +2. Thus, the Cd atom is oxidized (loses electrons) and is the reducing agent. The oxidation state of Ni decreases as NiO2 is converted into Ni(OH)2. Thus, NiO2 is reduced (gains electrons) and is the oxidizing agent.
Practice Exercise Identify the oxidizing and reducing agents in the reaction 2 H2O(l) + Al(s) + MnO4(aq) Al(OH)4(aq) + MnO2(s) Answer: Al(s) is the reducing agent; MnO4 is the oxidizing agent. Electrochemistry 8
20.2 Balancing Redox Equations • Recall the law of conservation of mass: The amount of each element present at the beginning of the reaction must be present at the end. • Conservation of charge: Electrons are not lost in a chemical reaction. • Some redox equations may be easily balanced by inspection. – However, for many redox reactions we need to look carefully at the transfer of electrons. Electrochemistry 9
Half-Reactions Sn2+(aq) + 2Fe3+(aq) Sn4+(aq) + 2Fe2+(aq) • The oxidation half-reaction is: Sn2+(aq) Sn4+(aq) +2e– • The reduction half-reaction is: 2Fe3+(aq) + 2e– 2Fe2+(aq) Electrochemistry 10

The Half-Reaction Method 1. 2. 3.
Assign oxidation numbers to determine what is oxidized and what is reduced. Write the oxidation and reduction half-reactions. Balance each half-reaction. a. b. c. d.
4. 5. 6. 7. 11
Balance elements other than H and O. Balance O by adding H2O. Balance H by adding H+. Balance charge by adding electrons.
Multiply the half-reactions by integers so that the electrons gained and lost are the same. Add the half-reactions, subtracting things that appear on both sides. Make sure the equation is balanced according to mass. Make sure the equation is balanced according to charge. Electrochemistry © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

Sample Exercise 20.2 Balancing Redox Equations in Acidic Solution Complete and balance this equation by the method of half-reactions: (acidic solution) Cr2O72(aq) + Cl(aq) Cr3+(aq) + Cl2(g)
Solution 14 H+(aq) + Cr2O72(aq) + 6 Cl(aq) 2 Cr3+(aq) + 7 H2O(l) + 3 Cl2(g)
Practice Exercise Complete and balance the following equations using the method of half-reactions. Both reactions occur in acidic solution. (a) Cu(s) + NO3(aq) Cu2+(aq) + NO2(g) (b) Mn2+(aq) + NaBiO3(s) Bi3+(aq) + MnO4(aq) Answers: (a) Cu(s) + 4 H+(aq) + 2 NO3(aq) Cu2+(aq) + 2 NO2(g) + 2 H2O(l) (b) 2 Mn2+(aq) + 5 NaBiO3(s) + 14 H+(aq) 2 MnO4(aq) + 5 Bi3+(aq) + 5 Na+(aq) + 7 H2O(l) Electrochemistry 14
Balancing in Basic Solution • If a reaction occurs in a basic solution, one can balance it as if it occurred in acid. • Once the equation is balanced, add OH to each side to “neutralize” the H+ in the equation and create water in its place. • If this produces water on both sides, you might have to subtract water from each side.

•
Once even one electron flows from the anode to the cathode, the charges in each beaker would not be balanced and the flow of electrons would stop. Therefore, we use a salt bridge, usually a U-shaped tube that contains a salt solution, to keep the charges balanced. – Cations move toward the cathode. – Anions move toward the anode.

In the cell, then, electrons leave the anode and flow through the wire to the cathode. As the electrons leave the anode, the cations formed dissolve into the solution in the anode compartment. As the electrons reach the cathode, cations in the cathode are attracted to the now negative cathode. The electrons are taken by the cation, and the neutral metal is deposited on the cathode. © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

20.4 Cell Potentials Under Standard Conditions Electromotive Force (emf) • Water only spontaneously flows one way in a waterfall. • Likewise, electrons only spontaneously flow one way in a redox reaction—from higher to lower potential energy. 26

Electrochemistry
Electromotive Force (emf) • The potential difference between the anode and cathode in a cell is called the electromotive force (emf). • It is also called the cell potential and is designated Ecell. • Cell potential is measured in volts (V). J 1V=1 C Useful Units : 1C = 1A·s 1J = 1V·C

Standard Reduction Potentials Standard reduction potentials, Eºred for many electrodes have been measured and tabulated.

Standard Hydrogen Electrode • Their values are referenced to a standard hydrogen electrode (SHE). • By definition, the reduction potential for hydrogen is 0 V: 2 H+(aq, 1M) + 2e H2(g, 1 atm) Electrochemistry 29

Standard Cell Potentials The cell potential at standard conditions can be found through this equation: (cathode) Ered (anode) = Ered Ecell Because cell potential is based on the potential energy per unit of charge, it is an intensive property. Electrochemistry 30

G 0 RT ln K RT E ln K nF nF nF 0

(b)
E = (1.36 V) (0.54 V) = +0.82 V spontaneous
Electrochemistry 37
20.6 Cell Potentials Under Nonstandard Conditions • A voltaic cell is functional until E = 0 at which point equilibrium has been reached. – The cell is then “dead.”
• The point at which E = 0 is determined by the concentrations of the species involved in the redox reaction.

Nernst Equation G = G + RT ln Q; nFE = nFE + RT ln Q
Dividing both sides by nF, we get the Nernst equation: RT ln Q E = E nF or, using base-10 logarithms,
E = E 39

Electrical Work • Free energy is a measure of the maximum amount of useful work that can be obtained from a system. – We know: G = wmax and G = -nFE thus: wmax = -nFE – If Ecell is positive, wmax will be negative. • Work is done by the system on the surroundings. Electrochemistry 53

Electrical Work • The emf can be thought of as being a measure of the driving force for a redox process. – In an electrolytic cell an external source of energy is required to force the reaction to proceed. : w = nFEexternal – To drive the nonspontaneous reaction, the external emf must be greater than Ecell. – From physics we know that work is measured in units of watts: 1 W = 1 J/s – Electric utilities use units of kilowatt-hours: kWh = 3.6 106 J.
